Plantation Shutters - should they all be the same colour?

4 years ago

We plan to install white plantation shutters in all the rooms on the front elevation of the house.

However, the study would look better with a wooden shutter as it has a slightly more masculine feel to it.

The house takes a slight bend which means the study window isn't level with the rest of the rooms which will have white shutters and there won't be any other windows next to the study either.

So I'm wondering if I could get away with a wooden shutter for the study or should I keep them all white.

I'm thinking if it's not adjacent to the others it might work, but I'm nervous about it and I need some opinions on this.

A photo would be helpful, I know, but unfortunately I don't have one at this precise moment. Apologies.

Difficult without photos, but for me I would go with all white, the study can still be masculine with painted wall colour and fittings to make a statement.

can't go wrong with consistency - sometimes you can overthink these things - go all white

May I suggest a cap of your pavers on the wall and the a slightly darker gray that relates to the privacy fence beyond? That way horizontal surfaces and vertical surfaces show similarities and blends/blurs the separations?

Take a clue from the pics....Do it's hard when you're starting and everything needs doing. Find a picture you like and use that as a guide. Do you like the looks of the colors in the two pictures above? Very simple and straight forward with beige/gray bricks and white and black accent colors for shutters and trim.

Hi anne, that's what I was originally thinking, my issue is what colour I use for the 'pop' :) I keep coming back to a teal/turquoise colour (it's one of my favourite colours!!), I love blues, purples, teal/turquoise - many on here have suggested yellow but I'm really not sure about it. Here in New Zealand we're in Autumn, nearing Winter so uncertain about the yellow. I found these cushions that I've fallen in love it, and wondering how I could make these work.. do I try teal and mustard together, as an interior designer suggested?

To answer your question I would paint the body of the house blue, all trim white, and then the "fringe" which I think ties into your porch decking, I would paint it the gray. It is a good "grounding" color for your home. Sherwin Williams has a cool web tool. Take a pic of your house and load it onto their site. You can "color" away on your house. When I painted my house for the first time, I did not want the garage door to stick out, wanted it to blend into the house. Everyone said it would look weird, needed to be painted the same as the trim. Used the Sherwin Williams site and realized want I visioned looked good. I have neighbors of dubious design skills! Ha! Ha!

alternatively, you could possibly go for a different colour inside if it looked consistent on the same side of house externally

Hi Gwen, I would keep the shutters facing the front of the house looking the same. It would look weird if there was one window at the front that had a different coloured window.
